iMoneyNet and Domania.com Team Up to Provide Home Buyers with Objective Mortgage Rate Information

WESTBOROUGH, Mass. (April 10, 2000) - iMoneyNet, Inc., the nation's premier source for savings and borrowing rate information, today announced a content partnership with Domania.com to provide current mortgage rates to consumers. iMoneyNet will provide Domania with information on the lowest rates in locales throughout all 50 states.

Domania.com is an independent, consumer-focused destination dedicated to educating and empowering homeowners, buyers and sellers. Domania's suite of tools and services includes the popular Home Price Check, the largest free online data bank of home purchase prices, which already has been cited as a Top 10 online real estate destination by Nielsen//NetRatings.

"The best feature of the rates tracked by iMoneyNet is that they represent the lowest rates or 'best deals' for consumers offered by local banks and many other lenders," said Steven Kropper, president of Boston-based Domania. "The breadth of their data furthers our mission to help people get a total picture of what's available in the specific area where they want to live.

"We can now show people what they can expect to pay for a home, and give them an idea of how much it'll cost to finance it. That's especially helpful to people relocating from one state or region to another," Kropper added.

Peter Crane, vice president and managing editor, noted that iMoneyNet is pleased to be able to show Domania users the lowest rates for such popular mortgage products as 15-year and 30-year fixed rate loans, 1-year adjustable rate mortgages and 30-year FHA loans.

"We provide daily updates for more than 120 U.S. markets," Crane stated. "Our rate tables include national lenders licensed to do business in those areas plus local mortgage programs provided by banks, thrifts and credit unions, giving users a broad array of mortgage choices," he added.
